Okay, so there's no clever show title this week. I just couldn't think of anything that could possibly sum up this show since we talked about all kinds of stuff. Join us as we answered some emails, cover a few things in the news, and listen to me whine a bit more about the weather. There is some interesting info, however, because the RCadvisor pops in and tells us a bit about how motor "cogging" may or may not affect a motor's performance. LINKS: Urs' SPIKE 3D (Coming soon!) Urs' 50cc Hovering! (Hmmm...) Word About The Beast From Someone In The Know Jewelry Bead Crimps (Thanks, Randy!) Looking For Clubs And Fields In the US? Try HERE In the Virginia area and looking for a cool event to attend? The FunTime Virginia Aero-Nuts are having a Fun-Fly on October 15th (rain date is October 22nd). You can get directions to the field HERE. I expect details to hit the club's website soon!

In this 131st installment of our show, Tim is back with a thorough report of the RCAE event that he attended last week. This is certainly an event that I am going to have to include in my schedule next year! In addition to our normal banter we include some news, a great tip on making those pesky Multi-Rotor power distribution harnesses, a cannon for retrieving airplanes from trees, and the RCadvisor is back again with another segment.
